RE: HTML <input> (solved)

hi folks,

I discovered that if you use a "method=post" on your form statement it does
not append the coordinates of the graphic to the url

Thanks

Per the current HTML standard
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#input-control-types),
browsers are supposed to append the coordinates to the URL if the image
was clicked with a pointing device.  The appended information includes
the coordinates, specified with the value of the name attribute. 
Perhaps if you omit the name attribute from your input tag, the browser
won't send the coordinates because it can't properly format them.
